A radio station uses 1/6 of it's time for the news. In a 24 hour day, how many are used for music and entertainment? Wouldn't it be 20 hours for music and entertainment?

Wouldn't it be 20 hours?

Since they used 4 hours for news, so 24 - 4 = 20 for music and entertainment?

Someone else is telling me it's 4 hours but I'm confused on their reasoning.

    If they have 24 hours in a day, and use 1/6 of those 24 hours on news, they use 24 * (1/6) or 4 hours on news. Assuming that they use the leftover time for just music and entertainment, we have 20h - 4h, so thats 20h. You were right. Not sure on their reasoning either.
